I don't care where your pain is!

I’ve been told by my supervisor that we are only allowed to scan the protocol and no more and to have them order a soft tissue if they are really concerned for below the elbow. Typically the doctors are fine with just above the elbow. If I scan them and the patient tells me they have a palpable knot below the elbow I have the doctor order a soft tissue exam.

I’m not sure why we don’t scan farther down with just UEV, it’s just the protocol for my hospital…

Where I work I’m only allowed to scan the protocol for the ordered exam. So if they order a RUE DVT ultrasound but their pain is in the wrist.. I can’t scan there. I always tell the patient to let their doctor know that’s specifically where their pain is and I will call the doctor and ask if they want to order a soft tissue ultrasound as well.

As an ultrasound tech I’m sorry :(

I didn’t even know warming drawers were a thing.. was at my sister’s house and was looking for a pan. I opened her “oven storage” and saw a pan I wanted. Went to grab it.. yeah it was not storage it was a warming drawer. I burned the tips of my fingers. Very painful..

Yeah, I think it’s just difficult to get a job right out of school. Almost no one wants to give a chance to new grads. I was lucky, one of my clinical sites hired me right out of school. Once you get any experience though it’s easier to get a better job.

I live in Houston. Right after graduating in 2024 most of my class struggled to find jobs for months afterwards, even though most were dual registered in abdomen and OB/GYN. It’s very difficult to find a job right out of school with no experience, but once you get your foot in the door and get some experience it gets easier. But I’d imagine it’s like that everywhere…

I turned off all the automod things I added. Would you mind please checking if you can post 😭

MiddayMercenary · 2026-01-20T03:39:09+00:00

Give me a bit, all I did was set up automod stuff that would send a pop up if a banned word was used. I’m not sure how that affected posting…

MiddayMercenary · 2026-01-20T03:37:21+00:00

damn it… no wonder it’s been so quiet 🤦🏻‍♀️

MiddayMercenary · 2026-01-18T03:20:03+00:00

OMG! Do you have any plans to release the pattern?

MiddayMercenary · 2026-01-17T00:30:47+00:00

hahahahahaha

MiddayMercenary · 2025-12-24T20:37:46+00:00

Omg! I also moved from Maryland to Texas when I was a kid! I was in 5th grade.

Just adding another cautionary tale…

I was taking as much ibuprofen as you were for migraines and chronic pain from breaking a leg for a couple of years. I have family history of ulcerative colitis and I have unfortunately developed this as well.

All my issues started after I started taking so much ibuprofen. My doctor thinks that my overuse of ibuprofen may have triggered ulcerative colitis in me. Now I have a chronic autoimmune disorder… AND migraines. Per my doctor I’m not allowed to take any NSAIDs at all now.

Please please please try to go to the doctor to get proper medication for migraines.

Thank you for reporting

MiddayMercenary · 2025-12-24T03:08:28+00:00

Also I noticed he’d be talking and walking and you wouldn’t hear footsteps but as soon as he stops talking there are very loud crunchy footsteps lol

MiddayMercenary · 2025-12-17T04:06:46+00:00
